Optimistic in the sence that u see all pashtuns in a rose tinted manner that essentially they are all good and that we will all get along... my experiences with pashtuns have been the exact opposite... most pashtuns I knw are lying, cheating fornicating alcoholics or any combination of these .... they squabble over petty issues and talk abt long dead people with a puffed up sence of pride in the achievemnents of thei ancestors....
